Linux network controller driver

Question:

I installed ubuntu-20.04.6-desktop-amd64 on our workstation. I couldn't find the wireless option in setting.

Process:

Firstly, I thought maybe the kernel version was too old. I then downloaded and installed the 5.19.17 version kernel, but I still didn't see the wireless option after I restarted UBUNTU.
I thought the second reason could be the driver. I consulted in terminal, and it showed the network controller intel 272b. I tried to find the corresponding driver, but I found nothing even on intel webpages. I tried to install drivers-linux-firmware_20220818-1_all.deb (which is a driver). I unpacked it and putted the document(iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode) under /lib/firmware/. Finally I restarted UBUNTU. It still didn't work.

I'm a Linux novice. Hope you can provide some information. Thanks!

Sincerely
